Uploaded by damekirilover on Jan 3, 2008
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sings "Let the Bright Seraphim" from the oratorio "Samson" by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759). It's a "LIVE RECORDING" from the "Royal Wedding" for Prince Charles and Princess Diana at St. Paul Cathedral London UK in 1981, converted from an old LP. With John Wallance(trumpetist), Bach Choir and the Orchestra, Sir David Willcocks / conductor.

@Operaman41 I'm well over 30 and I think both Diana's dress and Dame Kiri's clown suit were ghastly. I lived through the 80s and never saw anything as dreadful as Dame Kiri's outfit...and I remember some pretty awful clothing from the 80s.
-
Whatever was Dame Kiri thinking when she decided to wear this clownsuit of a dress? The hat is quite terrible too. I had thought that the biggest fashion faux pas at that wedding was Diana's dress, but Kiri's clown outfit (complete with clown ruff) is a lot worse. Purely ghastly!
-
That hat would have been too conservative today, was she there?
-
she wore that??
-
@rogerneon I saw her interviewed on NBC afterwards where she shook her head wildly saying, "It [her hat] doesn't fall off!"

@olympicfreak678 While Princess Di knew who Dame Kiri Te Kanawa was, I'm sure that Prince William, who was a late 90's teenager, doesn't know who she is. But ask him who the Spice Girls are, and that he'll know LOL
-
I'm guessing she'll be singing it next year again? =)

I'm slightly confused right now. There are two different "live recordings" on youtube, of her singing this at the Royal Wedding 1981, however, this recording is about a half-step higher than the other...???

Well.....it's a version converted from and old LP, so the speed might not be so precise. Please show me another version. Thanks!
